First aid Made Feb 20, 2024, sent to the company Feb 23, 2024, published by CPSC Mar 8, 2024
The product, in the report: Target branded red plastic shopping cart for toddlers
2 year old boy was pushing the cart and the handle flipped up, causing the cart to slide out from under him, and he fell onto it, cutting his face on the flimsy plastic . Very unsafe design as the handle does not have any sort of mechanism to lock it into place, which I never noticed until he started playing with it.

First aid Made Aug 16, 2023, sent to the company Aug 18, 2023, published by CPSC Sep 11, 2023
The product, in the report: It is a Target- branded shopping cart marketed & displayed as a toy for toddlers. It looks like a tiny version of a real shopping cart at target (red, with bullseye logo on the side) and gray handle.
My child has a permanent scar from a cut obtained by a shopping cart toddler toy sold by target. The toy has very sharp edges just under the cart itself. He barely brushed his leg against the bottom of the cart and now, two weeks later, he has a deep colored scar across his leg.

The product, in the report: childrens docter play set
While opening the packaging to the toy set she noticed that there is some sort of plant or herb inside of the medicine bottle that came with the set.
She indicated that she does not want to allow her child to play with the set until she can determine if the planet/herb is hazardous or not.
She contacted the retailer and was advised that she could return it for a full refund. She has declined on returning it because she is curious to know if it is hazardous.
She has not contacted the firm but plans to do so.
